      Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in

      that the terms of this license are adhered to, and that this
      license or an incorporation of it by reference (with any options
      elected by the author(s) and/or publisher) is displayed in the
      reproduction.

      Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:

    <para>
      The reference must be immediately followed with any options
      elected by the author(s) and/or publisher of the document (see
      section VI). Commercial redistribution of Open
      Publication-licensed material is permitted. Any publication in
      standard (paper) book form shall require the citation of the
      original publisher and author. The publisher and author's names
      shall appear on all outer surfaces of the book. On all outer
      surfaces of the book the original publisher's name shall be as
      large as the title of the work and cited as possessive with

      Mere aggregation of Open Publication works or a portion of an Open
      Publication work with other works or programs on the same media

      aggregate work shall contain a notice specifying the inclusion of
      the Open Publication material and appropriate copyright notice.

          <para>
            If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy
            or CD-ROM, you provide email notification to the authors of
            your intent to redistribute at least thirty days before your
            manuscript or media freeze, to give the authors time to
            provide updated documents. This notification should describe

      The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed
      document may elect certain options by appending language to the

      A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions
      without the explicit permission of the author(s). "Substantive
      modification" is defined as a change to the semantic content of
      the document, and excludes mere changes in format or typographical
      corrections.
    </para>

    <para>
      To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively
      modified versions of this document is prohibited without the
      explicit permission of the copyright holder.' to the license
      reference or copy.
    </para>

    <para>
      B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in

      purposes is prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from

      To accomplish this, add the phrase 'Distribution of the work or
      derivative of the work in any standard (paper) book form is
      prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from the copyright
      holder.' to the license reference or copy.
